    No marked camping, but you could set up around the falls and up the creek. It’s BLM there.

    Got most of it figured out. Did pick up a few things from the video tho. Thank you. I have not put the Annex on yet and don't know what these things are for. Looks like spares in case I lose bolts or break a strap?

    Had messages from several people. Sorry for the late responses, was at Cruise Moab all last week and not on the interweb. On the topic of tents, one lucky dude walked away with a brand new Tepui tent at the raffle! Good times!

    I bought this 12vdc fan from Amazon. Turned out to be designed for a pet crate not a tent, but it will work. I have not needed it yet but I am impressed. It has three speeds and on high moves air at 10mph according to their literature and it feels accurate in my testing. Pulls 1AH on low and a hair over 3AH on high. I have a 105AH deep cycle battery sitting in the bed to power it and my LED light strips.

    good idea! could also clip the end, and wire it to a switch/solar setup.

    So I'm going to be getting an RTT in the future and I'm looking into having a bed rack made for over my SoftTopper. Without knowing what RTT I'm getting, does it matter the spacing of the bars that the RTT would mount to?

    I'm thinking the rack will have only two veritcal bars on each side, and then three horizontal to mount an RTT too.

    I just don't want to have a rack built, then buy an RTT and have to turn around and need to rework my bed rack. I'm also leaning toward full alluminum to save weight, and to keep to corrosion away.

    Thoughts??

    The mounts on the bottom of the RTT slide back and forth, so the spacing between the cross bars isn't that big of a deal.

    I think youre talking about the width of the rails on the tent itself? If I remember correctly they are about 30" apart.

    They only run one way, correct? So if you wanted the RTT to flip over the tailgate, or over the side, one of those would need the bars to line up with the mounts I'm guessing.


    I guess that is my question. Is that a standard(ish) measurement? I've never seen the bottom of an RTT honestly so that's half my problem.

    My RTT rails run front to rear and are perpendicular to my bed bars. There's no way they wouldn't fit.

    I can switch the mounting rails on the bottom of my tent to change opening orientation
